Shinta, this was truly beautiful and what a lovely, imaginative tribute to Frodo. I can just imagine that his new home would feel that way about him.

Heeee....thank you, Shin! I wish he had moved to my place instead, though. I may not have a tail to wag, but rather than the house, I would be the one praising him with great praise, I would. I like the part where it realized it was reserved for someone else; an honor set aside for a hallowed figure. It's wonderful to know that Frodo's loved and admired even by the very house he's going to dwell in. :) Thanks again, Shin!

Author Reply: I'd love to have him in my place, too! :D

Thank you for reading, Illy. Glad you like it.

How lovely Iorhael! We forget that places in middle earth have knowledge and even "souls" of their own. I really like how you phrase things: I would have bowed to him.. but I'm without head or waist. What a happy house that is! I hope that somehow, some way, The House is able to communicate to Frodo... THAT would make this tale complete in my eyes. :)

Author Reply: I wish I could be the house. :)

Thank you very much for reading and leaving me a lovely feedback, Dayna.

The House is able to communicate to Frodo

Now, that's a challenge for me. :D

Oh, what lovely images! Frodo being welcomed by his new home, and with the promise of caring so deep!

His voice! It was light…and sweet as the morning sunlight on my windowpanes.

This is a lovely and most unique POV.


Author Reply: Oh, thank you, Janet!

And for that line, I have to credit Celandine! :D

I loved the story that you wrote from the POV of Bag Inn so I was pleased to see this one. This is wonderful. I enjoyed hearing the thoughts of Frodo's new home very much. Wonderful as always!
